给的答案是E。

OG12 SC25：
Based on accounts of various ancient writers, scholars
have painted a sketchy picture of the activities of an
all-female cult that, perhaps as early as the sixth
century B.C., worshipped a goddess known in Latin as
Bona Dea, “the good goddess.”
(A) Based on accounts of various ancient writers,
(B) Basing it on various ancient writers’ accounts,
(C) With accounts of various ancient writers used
for a basis,
(D) By the accounts of various ancient writers
they used,
(E) Using accounts of various ancient writers,

答案为E。
OG的解释为："Based on..."不能修饰主语"scholars"。按照这种说法的话，那么上面BY例题选项E中“based on...”修饰的是从句主语"the North American Indians"应该也是错误的。究竟我的理解有问题还是怎么回事儿呢？请各位高手指点迷津！谢谢！

by那题 based on 就近修饰 calendar

糊香肠

base 后面的内容应该是修饰calendar,意思是说这个calendar是在...的基础上而来的
个人意见，不知道对不对~

恩，有道理，多谢2位！

第一题典型的抽象名词加THAT同位语结构  
第二题人不能发出BASE的动作

李子木

第一句话中的based on就是很普通的就近修饰吧。。。修饰calendars

第二句中的based on做的是分词省略结构，修饰主语scholar
